already been set up and many others
are in progress of formation. In the
districts now organized and at work
two technically trained men of the
Soil Conservation Service have been
assigned to each county in the district.
These men work with individual far
mers in helping them survey their
lands to determine the slope, degree
of erosion, contour lines for terracing,
etc., and this assistance is absolutely
free, not costing the district, the
county or the individual farmer any
thing. Most farmers in Grady county
can perform the necessary operations,
whether terracing or otherwise, on
their farms, necessary to prevent ero
sion, if they know what to do, but
very few farmers knoW howto locate
their terraces, where the outlets
should toe, etc. Therefore, this free
service that can be secured from the
Soil Conservation Service of the U.
S.-Department of Agriculture will be
invaluable.
“A Soil Conservation District can
not levy any taxes, issue any bonds
or other obligations against the prop
erty of the district. The supervisors
of the district are authorized to ex
tend additional Service other than the
ree ge rvice above mentioned to those
farmers desiring it under conditions
they prescribe, but no work is done
on any man’s land except upon ob
taming his consent or in co-operation
with or by agreement with such land
owner. There are m> compulsory reg
ulations. It is necessary to organ
ize a district in order to obtain help
from the government in soil conser
vation but no land-owner is compelled
to do anything except he wishes to
do it.
“A full vote is desirable for the
reason that if hut a small number of
landowners vote in the referendum, al
though all may favor it, the State
Committee might consider that the
vote did not indicate sufficient inter
est of the Grady county landowners
as a Whole to justify the inclusion of
this county in the Soil Conservation
District.”

Refrigerator Agency.
Dick Davis, manager of Cairo Ice
Co., Inc., here, announced this week
that his firm has just received a line
of the new 1939 Conditionaire ice re
frigerators Which will be offered at
most attractive prices.
An ad cn page six of The Messenger
this week calls attention to some of
the advantages of ice refrigeration
as offered in the Conditionaire line.
Mr. Davis points out that many peo
ple prefer ice refrigerators, even
where electric sei*vice is available,
when the special ice service arrange
ment is considered, while many peo
ple who have never enjoyed home re
frigeration of any kind are now find
ing ice refrigerators within their
means.
He invites a visit from anyone de
sirous of investigating the ice refrig
erator proposition offered.

2. The Berkeley is the only ejector pump that has an AUTOMATIC pRESSUl
CONTROL \ ALVE. This valve automatically diverts the correct amount of water
the jet at various water levels. It opens and closes in accordance with the pump P 11
sure thereby making more efficient and dependable operation under all conditions.
3. It is the simplest and most efficient ever built. It consists of a bronze jet W
and foot valve, pressure pipe, venturi tube and jet nozzle. The venturi tube is a
ed pipe with lead, moulded to form the correct taper. This construction has been STRENG in u se j
more than six years. THE GALVANIZED PIPE IS USED BECAUSE OF
THE LEAD IS USED BECAUSE IT WILL NOT CORRODE IN WATER.
All electric automatic water systems must be equipped with motor overload P
tection to be financed by the REA. BERKELEY PUMPS meet this requirement.
For more information about the Berkeley, ask for a list of satisfied owners.
